Spurs Heat Prices by Game

Notes on price trends

<ul>

Tickets for Games 1 and 2 in San Antonio went for an average of $474 apiece, which is about equal to the average we saw for the first two games in SA for the 2013 Finals ($487).

<li>In Miami, however, the average price for Games 3 and 4 is $708, up 23% from the $575 average we saw for the first two games at American Airlines Arena for the 2013 Finals. These first two games in Miami are the most expensive opening Finals home games for the Heat in their four trips since 2011 (previous high was that same $575 figure for Games 1 and 2 against the Spurs last season).</li>
<li>The cheapest ticket available for Game 4 in Miami is hovering around $250 for standing room, while the least expensive actual seat is listed at $310. On the other end of the spectrum, courtside seats are listed at $5,700 each.</li>
<li>If the series goes to a Game 7, tickets to this year's finale will be much cheaper than they were in 2013. Game 7 in Miami last year drew an average ticket price of $1,014, whereas this year the average so far for a potential Game 7 in San Antonio is $727 per ticket. The current get-in price for Game 7 is $507, with some courtside seats listed for as much as $13,000 per ticket.</li>

The average ticket price for the two guaranteed games in Miami is $625, up 9% from a combined average ($575) of Games 1 and 2 in South Beach last year. The get-in price for Game 3 is $219 for standing room and $291 for an actual seat, while those prices are even higher for Game 4 ($242 and $335, respectively). One difference between last year and this year is that Miami's first home games will be in Games 3 and 4, meaning that the Heat's play in Games 1 and 2 in San Antonio could impact the Miami market before June 10 (while a 1-1 split may not have much effect, prices could shoot up if they were to win two on the road or dip if they lost both games).

We've seen about a 10% decrease in the average ticket price for Games 3 and 4 in the past 48 hours, which is in line with the typical downward trend we've seen for Finals games in the past. We've also seen a similar split in terms of the volume of upper-level vs. lower-level ticket resales in Miami this year compared to last year: it's been 55% upper to 45% lower for Games 3 and 4 this year, and it was 53% upper to 47% lower for Games 1 and 2 in 2013. So, the pricing trends this year aren't being inflated simply because more lower-bowl seats are trading hands.

Miami Heat NBA Finals Tickets

America Airlines Arena was dark and filled with smoke in 2010. Spotlights shined down on the Miami Heat's new Big Three - LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh - and the crowd roared as King James began counting so high that he needed two hands. The Miami Heat wouldn't be satisfied with a simple handful of NBA Finals titles - they wanted more. A few months later, that scene was the focus of skepticism and ridicule as the Miami Heat's NBA Finals run ended in defeat at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks. Was the experiment already a failure? Had the Heat defeated their own immense talent with an even larger sum of pride? Where would they go from there?

Two years later, the doubts tossed at the post- NBA Finals Miami Heat in 2011 seems absurd. Led by the now four-time NBA MVP James, the Miami Heat are the prohibitive favorite to represent the Eastern Conference in their third straight NBA Finals. Last season, the Heat earned their way into the Finals against the upstart Oklahoma City Thunder by defeating the rival Boston Celtics in a thrilling seven game Eastern Conference Final. This season, it appears the Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks will offer the biggest test following a sweep of the Milwaukee Bucks. Everyone now expects the versatile James, underrated Bosh, and savvy Wade to dominate the competition like they did during a 25-game winning streak. They can play "small ball" and adjust to almost any strategy from their opponents. So who's to say they won't need two hands to count the Miami Heat's NBA Finals titles after all?
